News - Vast Upturn in Businesses Digitising Scheduling

'Schedule it' have seen a sharp increase in the number of businesses digitising their scheduling function to increase efficiency and productivity.

Over the last twelve months the company has sold thousands of licences for its online and desktop scheduling software, and seen a 235% increase of mobile users this year. The software allows planners to manage an office and mobile workforce effectively from a central location, and with the workforce able to access the programme from the field this reduces admin time, double booking and miscommunication.

Founder and Managing Director, Mark Ballance said: 'Confidence is definitely growing post recession and businesses are investing to increasing their productivity. Scheduling software is a simple step to take, but one which can really streamline the workforce. It generally moves a business away from paper, spreadsheet and simple diary based systems, which were not developed specifically for scheduling. I would suggest that this is one of the reasons for the increase in uptake.

Mark continues: 'As the world we live in becomes increasingly digital, businesses must do or die. Companies are much more open to utilising the technology in the pockets of its workforce, and provide them with software that they can install and use from their mobile devices. This keeps them in touch with the office, and also empowers them to take control of their own time, resulting in a much more efficient team.

A user from Retroflo Ltd said: 'We chose Schedule it because it is simple to use. It is helping reduce the time required to book appointments and there are no errors in writing down appointment times as it is automatically sent to the required engineer. It automatically sends an email so I do not need to telephone each engineer to update them of any new or cancelled appointments.'

Schedule it has helped thousands of businesses across the globe to digitise their scheduling operation. Licences are held by organisations from SMEs to large multinationals, demonstrating the versatility and broad reaching appeal of scheduling software.
